Contraphonic, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of their new boutique label ANTEPHONIC. The first release on ANTEPHONIC will be courtesy of classically trained viola player Dina Maccabee. Maccabee, a veteran of the San Francisco Bay Area scene and frequent contributor to the likes of Vetiver, Carla Bozulich, Vienna Teng and lo-fi favorites Ramon & Jessica, will be unleashing her solo debut entitled Who Do You Suppose You Are in the late summer/early fall of this year.
Who Do You Suppose You Are is truly a collaboration with free-jazz Chicago guitarist Tobin Summerfield (Never Enough Hope, Larval, Algernon, Crush Kill Destroy), and consists of nine tracks that stand outside pop music's endless wandering from trend to trend. The album is timeless, intertwining disparate influences and musical nuance with a contemporary stylishness. In the vein of Laura Viers or Edith Frost, and with the subtle influence of Fleetwood Mac filtered through the speakers of Pavement, Maccabee, Summerfield, and drummer/keyboardist Eric Kuhn (Silian Rail, Sean Hayes) round out perfect pop pieces that augment Maccabee's catchy, haunting vocals and carpet of viola and violin strings.
We can't think of a better way to launch our new sister label. Maccabee and co. will be hitting the road this August in support of Who Do You Suppose You Are, and you can get a sneak peek listen to some tracks on our freshly launched site today. Welcome and enjoy!
